The Dragon that refused to die 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The passing of legendary martial arts master Bruce Lee was untimely and tragic--this film set pays homage to the man who immortalized Martial Arts in cinema. Ten films feature other gifted martial arts masters, Bruce Lee followers and impersonators, showcasing the influence that Lee had on MA culture. Each of the films has something unique to offer, from secret ninja missions to fighting off clones. If you are into martial arts or ninja films, you have to add this into your collection.

Full of Bruces 5 out of 5 stars.

This is all BL clones including the film Clones of BL.
Bruce Li,Dragon Lee,Bruce Le and some I never heard of before.
Some of the films are biography and others are just crazy like Bruce vs. Supermen with Bruce Li as Kato.
Theres an animated film with Bruce Lee too.
If you are into this type of action then get it for sure.
The price is good and the films are not bad.
If youre into just BL then skip it.

great bruce exploitation 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Years ago after watching several bruce li films, I discovered bruce le with this movie and is one of my favorites for three reasons, le has the bruce lee physique and is the best fighter out of all the imitators. Bolo(bad guy cameo), lo lieh, chan wai man, and james nam(with 2 numchucks) also show their stuff in the many fights. The dubbing and other goofiness further intensifies the entertainment value. The fighting used in this film is real kung fu (like shaw brothers shaolin films) not like bruce lee. The dvd anamorphic WS picture is good, and no problems with mono english audio (good on the sound system).

Editorial Review:

After malicious gangsters capture Bruce Lee's ex-girlfriend, a young martial artist attempts to rescue her - and the late master's book containing lethal techniques for killing with one's fingers. Plenty of Kung-fu action and mayhem including a particularly gruesome scene involving the torture of a girl with a deadly snake!

Specs: DVD5; Dolby Digital Mono; 80 minutes; Color; 1.85:1Aspect Ratio; MPAA - NR; Year - 1980; SRP - $9.99.

phylography 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

If someone told me "Bruce Lee was a philosopher" a few years ago, I would have laughed out loud.
I've loved Bruce Lee as Martial Arts expert/performer/action_movie-pioneer for years and years, but the stuff I read about Bruce Lee's philosophy and ideas in general was always muddy, oddly put together, and or tough to read.
This bio is concise, informative, and not repetitive the way a lot of early A&E Biographies were. And of course, the best thing about this DVD, is that you see and understand that Bruce Lee was more than a physical phenom that moved (more than anyone I've ever seen) in what could be posted in wikipedia as "Poetry in Motion."

Editorial Review:

He fought his way from the mean streets of Hong Kong to international superstardom. With blazing fists and a burning passion, he became one of the most celebrated kung-fu masters of all time. In classic films like Fists of Fury and Enter the Dragon, he created the martial arts action genre that has become a favorite of moviegoers worldwide. But just as he reached the height of fame, he was struck down by a mysterious ailment or was it the curse that supposedly follows his family? This fascinating program examines the short, meteoric life of Bruce Lee. Exclusive interviews with friends and family including his late son Brandon and extensive footage from home movies, screen-tests and his legendary films help reveal the man behind the myth of the Immortal Dragon.

This movie is a compilation of some of Bruce Lee's stuff. The first part is a narrative with excerpts from four of Bruce Lee's early movies from his youth. Then there is a quick biography of Bruce, followed by a lot of clips of his immitaters. Then there is the better part of a movie from hies newest immitater, Dragon Lee.

Cheer Genuis 4 out of 5 stars.

I have to give this movie a 4 star because of all the times i seen it. I literally watch this movie 100 times when i was 14, becuase i would watch it while i worked out.It was the first movie i got when i first got into martial arts and bruce lee. Yeah its a pretty cool movie, i brought it a walmart for a dollar.

Editorial Review:

Interactive Menus, Chapter Selection, Previews. NR Not Rated, May Contain Graphic Violence. Using a mix of rare footage, combined with eerily accurate reconstructions from his life, The Real Bruce Lee tells the amazing true life story of a martial arts legend. Though gone for many years, the influence of Bruce Lee remains as great as ever. In this docudrama, we follow Bruce from his humble beginnings as a child actor in Hong Kong to action superstar of American film and television. We see his life, his triumphs, his brand new fighting art (Jeet Kune Do) which is still practiced to this day.

His Best Film After Enter The Dragon! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This movie (called Fist Of Fury overseas) was made before Enter The Dragon and, in my opinion, ranks just behind ETD! While all of Bruce's films and fight scenes are legendary, if this one or ETD is on TV, everything stops! LOL!

The plot, like ETD, is very basic. Bruce comes back to his martial arts school to find out his teacher was dead! Not only that, he suspects was murdered and goes on a rampage to avenge his death!

What's interesting is that even though the film is fiction, the teacher was actually a real life person. That character was recently shown in a film by Jet Li called "Fearless."

Back to the movie, what makes this special is Bruce himself. He was electrifying in every scene he was in. While I am still biased to Enter The Dragon, Chinese Connection ranks a close second in my view! Highly recommended!

Helpful opinion 1 out of 5 stars.

When I first bought the 2-sided dvd, I thought cool, I get two movies for a good price, but no. I would stay away from this and highly recommend buying the Box set or Bruce Lee collection, as it is a much better buy. This dvd is unrestored, has no option for subtitles, comes only in fullscreen, has no extra content that I think is worthwhile, and furthermore, both movies were not uncut as in the box set, which I bought later on. So anyways, go for the Bruce Lee Collection instead.

Good Bruceploitation Set 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

With the re-release of Video Asia's finest Bruceploitation sets in one(The Ultimate Dragon Collection) it was only appropriate that Kung Fu Theatre/EPI give us their best 5 in one Bruceploitation set(Legends of Kung-Fu). For the record, as becomes most films from the Bruceploitation era, the movies are cheesy, tend to borrow from familiar Bruce Lee works, and in some cases, are out there, so in no way am I suggesting that these are martial arts classics or masterpieces, they're for die hard fans of Bruceploitation who watch these films for the fun of it:

Bruce Le's Greatest Revenge: In a nutsehll, a rehashing/rip of Bruce Lee's Chinese Connection/Fist of Fury at best. The kung-fu is good(although Bruce Le insists on dishing out and redishing the same old 'Snake fist' setup for virtually ALL of his films, the fight scenes are quite convincing, he does more than mimick Bruce Lee's facial expressions and Brucisms...at times he does remind you of the real mccoy and there's a fight with Bolo Yeung toward the end). Only downsides of the movie are obviously the shortcomings in action and plot(ie, after Le knocks off Bolo, he goes on to fight the Boss, who retreats by diving into the water, swimming ashore and getting killed by 2 of Le's fellow students...ending the movie), then there's the swordsman(obvious rip of Robert Baker's Russian character). Enjoyable if you focus on the action instead of the cheese.

Bruce Li in New Guinea: Ho Chung Tao stars as a scientist who ventures out to New Guinea to search for the Snake Pearl and encounters several tribaes on the way, particularly The Great Wizard who oppresses the people with a tyrannical rule, Ho is poisoned by the Wizard's ring, is romanced by the princess-to-be(who puts a logve spell on him), they conceive a child, the Wizard puts a spell on the child, Ho must fight his way up to the Wizard. Simply put...the action makes the movie. To try and figure out the rest will make you sick from the psychadelic 70's-ness of the film. I'm not even going to acknowledge the "ape" that guards the princess...lol. But the kung-fu is pretty good, and the fight scenes between Ho and the Wizard and Bolo Yeung are impressive.

Superdragon, the Bruce Lee Story: This film was also released under the title,"Bruce Lee, A Dragon Story"...only this version is actually a better cut as there are more scenes available. This was one of the darker attempts to portray Bruce Lee's life as it begins with his college exploits, progresses to his break in the martial arts film industry, and then darkens when he starts to become involved with betty Ting Pei, resulting in an all-out affair which culminates in his dying in her apartment(Bruce Lee is portrayed as cold and calloused toward his wife and kids as things get sticky between he and Betty).

Bruce Lee We Miss You: One of the better Bruceploitation films...Ho Chung Tao portrays Stone, a martial artist and a fan of Bruce Lee who investigates the circumstances behind his death. As with many other such films, this one plays toward the syndicate/crime boss/conspiracy theories as Stone gets in touch with Betty Ting Pei and fights his way through syndicate figures "involved in Bruce Lee's death." The use of actual personalities (ie, Betty Ting Pei, Low Wei,etc) may not suit everyone's tastes, but the action is there.

The Kung-Fu of Tae Kwon Do: not Bruceploitation, I kind of neglected this one as being filler, but, unless I'm mistaken...the lead actor is also known as Bruce Pak and starred in the Return of Fist of Fury (a sequel to Bruce Le's Ching Wu & Shaolin 1 & 2).

One qualm that I have with this set is with the 15-30 second black screen "breaks" in some of the scene changes.

I had prepared a long and insightful review of this DVD set, but then my computer crashed and I lost it before I could post it. And I don't feel like typing it up all over again. So just buy this DVD set will you! Its better than you think.

a very good set, but the bruce lee movies are not that hot 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

the bruce lee part of this set is really just three movies that use clips of bruce so don't think your getting some of his best. that is the reason for the 4 star rating. the other movies are really fun martial arts movies with sonny chiba in them and they look good. so if you like these movies this is a really good set.

THE PERFECTLY LETTERBOXED REMASTERED VERSION OF THE STREET FIGHTER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

It also has Streetfighter's revenge and the horrible Sister Street Fighter. To top it off they throw great movies like Shogun's Ninja and Fist of Fury in(aka the Big Boss). Throw in a couple of the worst movies ever to go along with it and you have every reason in the world to buy this. IT IS CHEAP. Amazon has it for 10 bucks. BUY THIS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Adn if you have seen True Romance, this is THE trilogy featured in that movie. You just don't get any better than Sonny ripping that guys throat out. And has anybody ever figured out why that guy fights Chiba in EVERY one of their movies?

BRUCE LEE'S LEGACY DVD - WHAT TITLES OF NEW DVDS???? 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Many Bruce Lee's fans don't buy this titles because the description of the dvd was not complete. What are the titles by videoasia?? Please write description or cover. thanks

good content, too many flaws by the worst movie distributor ever-Videoasia 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I do have to wonder about the credibility of George tan, the pruducer of this boxed set and the documentary featured on here. I mean why are you teaming up with video asia??? Major questions there. I will go over each of the discs in this set. There is major problems with "the young bruce lee" dvd and other not so major problems on all the other discs. I will explain.

FIST OF THE UNICORN- I never thought I could give a movie with yusakai kuratu in it a 0/5, but I am. Add in Whang in-sik who's legs look awesome in this, and I just told you the one good scene of this movie. Unicorn Chan is actually not that bad of an actor and his kung fu skills are not the worst. But his signature move where he flies up into the air like superman and then just comes down to kill his oppenents with his death strike, it is truly unbearable to watch.

Now there is 2 versions of the film on this disc: A really bad full screened english version, and a widescreen one that has an even worse picture with almost unreadable subtitles.

The movie is just so stupid and bad I really cannot recommend this to anyone.

Now the 2 special feature are VERY good. One is an interview with betty ting pei that is REALLY REALLY old. And then a really cool interview with bruce's stuntmen.



BRUCE LEE: THE TRUE STORY-aka-the Man the Myth. The movie is horrible but it was laying around in video asia's library of crappy kung fu movies, so they used it. One interesting note is how they talk about how this movie actually reached Enter the Dragon type of box office #'s worldwide. But I guaranteee you the movie is just godawful.

There are 2 commentaries on this film and one is very important. The important one has the original writer of Dragon: the Bruce Lee Story- Rob Cohen's outrageously stupid and funny American Bruce Lee Bio movie. There is A LOT of important info discussed and this dvd is HIGHLY recommended by me for any bruce lee fan. Joe Lewis comes on and talks about how he met bruce and this commentary alone easily gets a 5/5.

The second commentary discusses the movie, Bruce Lee the True Story.

The extras are pretty good, though the ng see-tuen interview is way out of place. Still all the extras are pretty good.

NOTE-the dvd set gets only a 3 becuase the audio on the important commentary is lousily done and you will need to turn your TV up pretty loud. The commentary that talks about the movie is a little better audio quality.



DEATH BY MISADVENTURE-The documentary itself is truly one of the better investigation doc. about his death. And the commentary is very good. Though terrible audio quality, still worth listening too a couple of times. The doctor that first looked at Bruce, Dr. Don Langford was in like half of the documentary and then is on about 30 minutes of the commentary! It is so insightful that I have alreadsy listened to it twice. It is very interesting.

Now the audio is fine on the movie itself, but like I said is just really bad on the commentary. Still, worth turning up the volume and checking this out if you are a Bruce Lee fan.



THE YOUNG BRUCE LEE-this is an odd Bruce Lee documentary that looks to have been made in the 80's. The first 30 minutes show clips of when he starred in films as a child actor. I looked away for a minute or 2 and all of asudden there was a cartoon with a monkey beating up the devil??? I rewound but it really didn't make any sense, just as the whole movie really doesn't. But just as you get lost it becomes an almost watchable documentary. They show some clips from some stupid clone mmovies. I don't know if this movie/documentary was supposed to make sense, but it didn't come close. All in all, this is worth watching once for "the oyung bruce lee", but not again.

This disc does have a commentary by Jesse Glover, or at least I think it was him. I COULDN'T HEAR A THING! All you can hear is a muffled voice in the backround. Classic Video Asia.

The extras include an interview with Leo Fong, and other good stuff. A lot of it gets repeated on these discs, but only the good stuff. So videoasia, you must have got this done by your deadline, which was probably 1 day, way to go.

Beware of the Killer Peacocks! 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Game of Death II (aka Tower of Death) is a dichotomy of a film. It is a Bruceploitation film (though it is one of the better ones) and it is an exiting revenge flick. Raymond Chow had apparently not made enough money off of the insipid Game of Death and was slowly leaking "newly found" footage of Bruce so it was bound that he would create another film with spliced in footage, redubbed dialog and, of course, Bruce's namesake. A lot of people were using Lee's name to promote their own productions, but Golden Harvest (who Bruce worked for; though technically this was a Seasonal production) was the worst of these offenders.

The first act of the movie is the least interesting and worst part of the film. Bruce Lee stars (posthumously edited in) as Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) who visits his friend Chin Ku (Hwang Jang Lee) who is currently beating up an under-classed challenger. After an reestablishment of friendship between the two (never a good sign in a Kung Fu film), he visits an abbot (Roy Chiao revisiting his role from Enter the Dragon so they can reuse and redub footage) to discuss about his contumacious brother Bobby Lo (Tong Lung who also starred in Game of Death).

Of course, the scenes that compromise the first act are not only exploitative of Bruce Lee they are also poorly done. The most obvious is that the backgrounds do not match between Bruce's footage and the new footage. Also check out the sculpted back muscles of Bruce and compare them to his double. It is not even close. The fight scenes with Bruce (and his double) do not flow well. However, anytime you see a fight scene and that Bruce (or his double) does a difficult move such as a flip you will notice that it is the incomparable Yuen Biao (he even has a small role toward the beginning.)
Bruce later visits the funeral of his friend Chin Ku and he is prevented from examining the body (this must mean something to the plot.) When the ceremony takes place a helicopter comes by and snags the coffin. For some strange reason, well to dispose of the fake Bruce character, he jumps on the coffin as it is flying away and is hit with a dart and falls to his death. This is absolutely absurd. Though this is not as bad as the 70s clothes at the funeral or the tacky real funeral footage of Bruce Lee that would come next.

Now the movie gets more interesting and less exploitative. Bobby learns of his brother's death from his father who tells him to meet Sherman Lan. Sherman tells him to go to the Palace of Death. Now this is an interesting place. It is owned by Lewis, played by Roy Horan who has been an executive at Seasonal, an actor who also acted in Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, a student of Hwang Jang Lee and currently a lecturer at HK Polytechnic University; obviously his life is more interesting than this film. Bobby suspects Lewis as the culprit behind his brother's death. Lewis likes to eat raw meat, is surrounded by lions (who are fed the fighters that he defeats), Killer Peacocks and a one-armed valet (oh my). The one-armed assistant, a monk from the Fan Yu temple) does not seem that he could be of great use to Lewis, but Lewis says that he is faithful and he has known him for a long time (do not dwell on this fact because the absurdity of what happens later is quite hilarious). I really do not trust one-armed people in Hong Kong films unless they are played by Jimmy Wang Yu.

Lewis tells Bobby of a tower built by abbot Hung Kuang. However, it cannot be found above ground. The abbot had it built underground (this is a nice twist until you see how much they spent on the set design and how many levels there actually are). Obviously there is going to be a show down there with Bobby fighting however is behind all of this madness. I will not give it away (or tell what happens at the Palace of Death) but it is fairly obvious who it will be.

The final act of the film leads to some good fighting scenes, obviously with the help of action director Yuen Wo-Ping, as Bobby makes his way down the tower (try to see how many times Yuen Biao is used as a stunt double; hint check every other move Bobby makes). Most of the film is entertaining (not counting the irritating and unnecessary flashbacks). There is always going to be tackiness involved anytime you invoke Bruce Lee's inimitable name; but once the movie gets past that it is fun to watch. In fact it is the best Bruceploitation film out there -- though that does not necessarily mean that much.

Editorial Review:

While investigating his friend Chin Ku's (Hwang Jang Lee) death, martial artist Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) is killed. His younger brother, Bobby Lo (Kim Tai Chung), investigates both deaths. His search takes him to Japan, where he befriends Lewis (Roy Horan), master of the Castle Of Death. But when Lewis is brutally murdered, Bobby must investigate the mysterious Fan Yu temple, where he must enter an underground pagoda and face off with the most terrifying of enemies.
